“We have to press through our difficulty. We let the enemy and our own flesh convince us that we are wimps. You are NOT a wimp!” Beth Moore
In actuality the devil is the biggest wimp of them all. He is the biggest coward! He cannot stand up to us when it comes to the Word of God. That is why we can defeat him with the Word and press through any difficulty we may face. He shakes in his hoofs when he hears the name of Jesus.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteThat's right- we can do harder things than we imagine- and we have the Lord at our side, always!
ReplyDeleteHallelujah
ReplyDeleteAmen, preach on.
ReplyDeleteOh it's true, JBR. How often do we forget that we have access to the most incredible power in the universe?? God is awesome, and with Him by our side, we have nothing to fear!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine what it would be like if we had to fight satan all on our own????
ReplyDeletesuperb quote. and post. luv an hugs
ReplyDeleteIn Scriptures we are told of several brothers who tried to go against demons, they were beaten, and ran stripped and naked. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing. Prayer works and helps, but sometimes it takes action on our part to overcome and defeat the enemy of our soul, who has many willing partners in his agendas. Voting is one way we act to change for the better. Speaking out against a bully no matter where he/she is encountered is another action we can take. So often, the preaching taking place is that of the new age metaphysics.
ReplyDeleteMany do not understand the way God works, remember the book of Job, sometimes, bad things happen, because God allowed it for His reason, his purpose, to work out good. That is the hardest thing for the Christian to accept and still trust God about. We can do everything right and still have things come out so wrong. It was not that we did not work hard enough, or believed hard enough, or any of all those other reasons some want to give for why bad things happen to good people.
Christians and Jews are being persecuted around the world in such a great number, greater in this age of enlightenment, than any other age. The enlightenment has not been rooted in the ways of God, and our society is showing it. I love Beth Moore because she is a sister in the Lord, but I cannot agree with everything she expounds. Far to many in Christendom are making some out to be, super Apostles, like the ones Paul talked about.
We idolize those before the TV screen, not checking out like the Bereans, if what they say lines up with the Word of God. May we have ears that hear, eyes that see, hearts that understand what God is saying to the churches, Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:5, 13, 22.
We are truly more than conquerors...when we exert the power of the Holy Spirit in us...Satan has no chance...Greater is he that is within me...blessings
ReplyDeleteJBR, Thank you, I very much needed to hear that today. Does Beth Moore have a book? I can relate to some of the quotes you use from Beth Moore and would be interested in reading a book of hers if she has one? Blessings.
ReplyDeleteHi JBR,
ReplyDeleteWe must remember Jesus used the Word of
God against the devil when He was tempted.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
Romans 8:31 If God be for us, who can be against us?
